BJP leader demands Punjab entry ban for Delhi CM Kejriwal, deputy

Sunil Jakhar, who previously served as Punjab's BJP president, has sought an official ban preventing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia from entering Punjab. The BJP leader made the assertion during a press conference, citing concerns that prompted his call for restrictive measures against the two senior AAP functionaries.

According to Jakhar, he had received information shortly before the press conference regarding the death of a 16-year-old boy in Punjab. While details surrounding the incident remain limited, Jakhar appeared to link this information to his demand for restricting the two Delhi leaders' access to the state.

The development reflects ongoing tensions between the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in Punjab, where political rivalry has intensified in recent years. Jakhar's statement underscores the escalating political discourse between the two parties as they compete for influence in the state.

The remarks come at a time when political relations between Delhi and Punjab governments remain contentious, with both parties frequently trading accusations. Jakhar's call for an entry ban represents a significant escalation in the political confrontation between the two parties at the state level.
